Abaqus Keywords Reference Manual  

*EULERIAN SECTION
Specify element properties for Eulerian elements.

This option is used to define properties of Eulerian continuum elements, including the list of materials that may occupy the elements.

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Type: Model data

Level: Part,  Part instance

Required parameter:

ELSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the Eulerian elements.

Optional parameter:

CONTROLS

Set this parameter equal to the name of a section controls definition (see “Section controls,” Section 24.1.4 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Manual) to be used to specify a nondefault hourglass control formulation option or scale factor. The *SECTION CONTROLS option can be used to select the hourglass control and order of accuracy of the formulation.

Data lines to define Eulerian elements: 

First line:

  1. Material name.

  2. Material instance name (optional). The default material instance name is the same as the material name. Material instance names must be unique throughout the entire model. Specify a nondefault material instance name if you refer to the same material definition more than once.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the list of all materials that may appear in the Eulerian section.
